One Thing I Love About Skam Is How Small And Seemingly Insignificant Moments Come To Mean So Much As

one thing I love about skam is how small and seemingly insignificant moments come to mean so much as the story progresses. in yesterday’s clip (Fy Faen) a lot of us noticed sana tuning out the sound of the crowd and the music from the party as she was preparing to do her salah. at the time of the clips release, it kinda displays how, in moments of prayer, there is only you and allah. and that was a really important image to show non-muslim viewers because it connects us to one another. but after watching it again the next day, when the next clip dropped (I Feel It Coming), it gains a new purpose. on Saturday morning, as she’s doing her prayer, the sound of sana’s phone rings louder than the prayer in her head. she has to do the salaam and break her salah because she can’t focus. then the music starts and she tries, she really tries to continue her reading but she can’t tune it out so she breaks it again. where the night before she was easily able to turn off everything around her, even when she was in the room of a complete stranger, it shows that something has to really be wrong for sana to not be able to focus on herself and allah. I think the ease with which she was able to begin her prayer the night before really highlights how much she’s hurting when you compare it to how distracted she is the next day, and I really am just amazed by Julie’s ability to show her character’s internal struggles manifest themselves in unspoken ways. because sana doesn’t say she’s hurting, but we see how off she is and we’re able to know just by watching her behavior.
